The Zva Designers are joining together today to share a project that we have created using some of our favorite Zva Creative http://www.zvacreative.com/index.html products. I am hoping that you will take some time to join us for a little bit of fun again this month!

The Blog Hop begins at Kim Hughes' blog: http://paperhugs.typepad.com/paper_hugs/. She will have the complete list of all blogs that are participating in case there is a glitch along the way. If you would like to play along, I am linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Be prepared to be inspired along the way. Hidden on 5 of the blogs is a Zva Creative prize package ...YAY! Those blogs will be randomly chosen after the hop is over, so it's important to leave a comment on as many blogs as you can along the way.

The Blog Hop starts now and runs through midnight US Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, August 31st and the 5 winners will be announced on Wednesday, September 1st on each of the five winning blogs. The full list will be found on Kim Hughes‘s blog as well (linked above). We will do our best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to all of the blogs once again on Wednesday...plus, you never know what kind of inspirational creation that you may find there. All you need to do is leave a comment on this Zva Blog Hop post...you do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify. The more times you leave a comment along the blog hop path though, the more chances you will have to be one of the lucky winners.

Autumn is right around the corner, and with it we are seeing children going back to school, cooler weather moving in, shops stacked with new school supplies and brand new scrapbooking releases! It's time to celebrate with a contest and classes! Join us for Back To Scrapping, and you could win a six month subscription to the kits and many other prizes!

Each week our designers will be teaching at least four classes created to pump up your creativity and get your scrapping mojo back in the driver's seat! You will be able to gain points toward the grand prize by participating in these classes, and every class will have a randomly drawn winner for lots and lots of other prizes! Creativity, Talent and Effort are all rewarded!

Here's a post I did for Kaisercraft today. I am taking you on a tour around my scrap space. It won't take long, because it is really small.

I really don’t have an entire room for my hobby. I only have a corner of a room. For me it’s very important to find great storage. This is what my corner looks like from the other end of the room. As you can see I have a small desk and some shelves around the desk.

Behind me I have part of a bookcase. In the white boxes from IKEA I store some of my flowers. I love flowers! And on the bottom shelves are things I don’t use that often, like my alpha dies.

Above the desk I have lots of plastic boxes with different embellishments.All the boxes are marked with a label so that I easily can find what I’m looking for. I also have some magazines collectors for rubons, bling swirls and stickers.

These picture rails are perfect for different kinds of bottles or jars.

I love this storage from IKEA’s kitchen department. Here I hang stuff that’s too long for other storage or stuff that are new or stuff that I want to remember that I have. And you can store LOTS of stuff on these hooks.

Under the table I store most of my patterned papers and other stuff that are in that size. I sort the patterned papers by manufacturer in large zip bags and put them standing in these large boxes.

This is my latest storage purchase, also from IKEA. And I totally ADORE it!On top of the drawer I have my diecutting tools and my BIA.

Inside the top drawers I store my border punches and my other punches. It makes it really easy to find the right one quickly.

This is my desk a little closer. I have my tote that carries all my glues, my tools and other stuff.

What's the scrappy cure for the summertime blues?

My clue for you is: Nook
